Terra Battle Strategies, Tips and Tricks

Terra Battle (Apple App StoreGoogle Play Store) is an online free-to-play tactical RPG puzzle game by Mistwalker, Hironobu Sakaguchi's video game development studio. The mobile game is similar to Tetra Master, where you move freely around a grid-based map to flank your enemies and crush them in a pincer attack.

To help you get the most out of this game, here are a few Terra Battle strategies, tips and tricks:

1. Make sure to login and play everyday. You get bonus coins and energy for consecutive daily plays.

2. You gain additional 5% boost for monster creatures when you get a duplicate monster drop.

3. Farm the 3rd battle in Chapter 3 to level up quickly and get skill
boosts. There's a sequence there where you have 4 to 5 monsters arranged
vertically that you can kill easily in 1-2 turns, and get massive experience
bonus.

4. Grind the Metal Zone 1 early on (opens after Chapter 2) to the max level 20
with your 6 starter characters. You'll need to grind gold during the
weekend coin events to pay the 1000 coin entry fee.

5. As much as possible, try to move multiple characters in a single turn. Characters can be positioned to execute chain attacks with allies. Take advantage of bonus items on the map to boost your attack combos.

6. Take some time to raise the second job of your multi-job characters
since the stats may end up being way better. Also at level 20 you
unlock another slot to use another skill of the other jobs so you can
have your second job with the skills of the first as well and vice versa.

7. Having 2 healers in your party of 6 is great for boss fights.

8. Save you energy for recruiting rare characters that can undergo 3 types of job changes.

9. Try to kill as many enemies as possible in single turns, in order to rack up an experience multiplier. Optimal areas will tend to have both large amount of enemies and formations that encourage multipliers.

10. (Added on 8/6/2014) There are some Terra Battle monsters with top-tier skills that can be farmed from certain chapter levels:
